As you shop for the holidays, actress and animal rights activist Eva Mendes hopes you’ll shun fur.

Mendes said, “Even if you buy a fur glove with the little trim, and you think ‘Oh, my God, it’s just a little trim,’ that animal got clubbed.”

Two years ago, Mendes took her clothes off for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign, but now she wants you to see something less pleasant. She’s narrated a video of PETA’s latest undercover footage of animals being killed for their fur.

She said, “These animals are beaten to death, they’re skinned alive, their throats are slashed while they’re still alive. They’re anally electrocuted, just so the fur won’t become tainted.”

Because of its gruesome nature, it’s unlikely you’ll see the three-minute video on television. But it shouldn’t be hard to find it spreading virally online.
